    Political Reelism: a Rhetorical Criticism of Reflection and Interpretation in Political Films

    POLITICAL REELISM: A RHETORICAL CRITICISM OF REFLECTION AND INTERPRETATION IN POLITICAL FILMS Jennifer Lee Walton A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2006 Committee: John J. Makay, Advisor Richard Gebhardt Graduate Faculty Representative John T. Warren Alberto Gonzalez ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to discuss how political campaigns and politicians have been depicted in films, and how the films function rhetorically through the use of core values. By interpreting real life, political films entertain us, perhaps satirically poking fun at familiar people and events. However, the filmmakers complete this form of entertainment through the careful integration of American values or through the absence of, or attack on those values. This study provides a rhetorical criticism of movies about national politics, with a primary focus on the value judgments, political consciousness and political implications surrounding the films Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Candidate (1972), The Contender (2000), Wag the Dog (1997), Power (1986), and Primary Colors (1998). iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank everyone who made this endeavor possible. First and foremost, I thank Doctor John J. Makay; my committee chair, for believing in me from the start, always encouraging me to do my best, and assuring me that I could do it. I could not have done it without you. I wish to thank my committee members, Doctors John Warren and Alberto Gonzalez, for all of your support and advice over the past months.

  • Finances/Recordkeeping 2

    Finances/Recordkeeping 2

    chapter Finances/Recordkeeping 2 One of the fundamental purposes of the Political Reform Act (Act), an initiative passed by the voters, is to ensure that receipts and expenditures in election campaigns are truthfully and fully disclosed. In order to do so, an individual that chooses to act as a committee treasurer, assistant treasurer, or principal officer must know and practice the finance and recordkeeping requirements and responsibilities discussed in this chapter. A. Committee Treasurer and Principal Officer Every committee must have a treasurer before the committee may accept contributions or make expenditures. Although there are no restrictions on who may be a treasurer, in order to adequately perform the duties, the treasurer must understand the campaign finance laws and his or her responsibilities under the Act. The candidate controlling the committee may be the treasurer or assistant treasurer for his or her own committee. No individual should accept the position of a committee treasurer as a mere figurehead. Contributions may not be accepted and expenditures may not be made if the treasurer’s post is vacant at any time, even if the committee has an assistant treasurer. If the treasurer is unavailable to carry out his or her duties, a new treasurer must be designated and the committee’s Statement of Organization (Form 410) amended. The individual listed on the most recent Form 410 filed with the Secretary of State continues to be liable until an amendment is filed to designate a new treasurer. The committee treasurer or assistant treasurer must sign and verify all reports and statements filed. The verification is signed under penalty of perjury and indicates that: • The signer has used all reasonable diligence in preparing the statement; and • To the best of his or her knowledge, the statement is both true and complete.

  • The Front-Runner in the Presidential Invisible Primary

    The Front-Runner in the Presidential Invisible Primary

    PARTY ANIMAL: THE FRONT-RUNNER IN THE PRESIDENTIAL INVISIBLE PRIMARY By JOSEPH C. JACKSON (Under the direction of Dr. Paul Gurian) ABSTRACT The presidential invisible primary has become an increasingly important battleground since the electoral reforms of the 1970s. In the invisible primary, one candidate will usually begin to dominate all the others. This candidate, referred to as the front-runner, almost always wins the subsequent primary elections and the party presidential nomination. This paper seeks to explain how a particular candidate becomes the front runner during the invisible primary. It does this through the use of voter polls, electoral records, and fundraising record from 1980 to 2000. It demonstrates that front-runners develop an early lead based on positive name recognition. The front-runner can then use that early lead to demonstrate the electability that party voters desire in a candidate. In the rare case that there is no front-runner, other factors determine who wins the invisible primary. Particularly influential is fundraising ability and electoral prospects in the first primary in New Hampshire.
